Mr Martin has made three starts in the Xtreme Enduro Series, and thanks to a front-stepping score in Tuesday’s leg at Georgian Downs he has taken the checkered flag in all three instances

With Paul MacKenzie at the lines, Mr Martin got away fourth before brushing to the top on the way to the half-mile marker. Once in charge of the tempo, the five six-year-old son of Yankee Glide never looked back en route to a winning clocking of 2:42. Bay Point Park (Tony Kerwood) was second and Sterling Oaks (Steve Byron) finished third.
